FYI... I played with Xconfigurator some more and I have something really
strange. It's like I have a 640x460 "opening" overlaid on an 800x600
screen. I have to mouse over to see what else is on the screen.
Also I finally get a nicer login screen. Before it was just gray with the
X Windows login window. Now I see "Red Hat Linux" and the penguin.
